>>37825860I think it's a really neat Pokemon. When you look past the whole "B-B-BUT IT LOOKS LIKE ICE CREAM" thing, you can actually see the creative thought processes behind it, such as this
>>37826016 and the fact that James Turner said that its goofy face is inspired by American food mascots. It's a good world-building Pokemon that adds a lot of variety by doing something that hadn't been done before. If you want your typical cool/badass/elegant monsters that are safe bets to have a wide appeal, there are hundreds of those from you to appreciate instead, but let us have some crazy, risky, and inspired goofball Pokemon like Vanilluxe, Bewear, Klefki, etc. every once in a while without screaming about how Pokemon is running out of ideas because they decided to make something that isn't just "edgy badass anime animal with angry eyes #4,627".
